Today I would like to talk about how to connect to your future self. You might be surprised to find out what you can discover about your self from a different perspective. Recently, someone from the ‘Change Your Life’ webinar admitted that there were things he was masking from himself and recognized that if he wanted to move forward professionally and personally, it was time to start taking that mask off and being brutally honest with himself.
If your future self were to be brutally honest with you, what would it say?
What do you need to do differently to create a different future?
Doing the same thing and expecting a different result has been called ‘insanity’ because it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Would your future self tell you to be grateful for everything in your life? How often are we really grateful for what is going on in our lives? It may seem like I say this often, but you can never really be too grateful. When you look around in the news and media, the people who have been able to reach great success, all share that they were grateful before they become successful. The key ingredient is to appreciate and like where you are now, enjoy the journey, relish the experiences that are actually making you into that confident future self that is awaiting you.
Your future self is amazing, your future self has beautiful relationships with self. It doesn’t look in the mirror and criticize itself. I want you to have a beautiful relationship with your emotions, family, significant others, work, and anything else in your life. But, that means letting go of negative relationships and a negative mentality. You need to let go of the negativity you have toward your future. Instead, make a list of the things in your life that you want to cultivate. What is your list? Remember to reflect on the mental, spiritual, physical, emotional, finances, relationships, work, and goals.
Put it somewhere, maybe even your screen saver. Being the best version of you, in all of these things. It is going to take work, but it is worth it. If you can just for a moment imagine your self five years from now. Having beautiful health, incredible connections, no longer comparing your self to others. Imagine a healthy relationship with money, money flows to you, there is no lack. But you have to change your mindset. Your future self, feels amazing, your future self has taken you to places, you have had great experiences, you are co-creating, doing more things that you could have imaged. Take your self out of that cage that limits you. Let your self out of that cage, whatever it looks like to you. Spread those wings, and fly so high, you are not going to realize, your future self is going to say, thank you for choosing you, for believing in your self, for letting go of limitations and manifesting.
My friend said to me the other day, ‘You can not swim if you are holding onto that anchor.’ Do you have a relationship with your self that wants to keep you where you are because you are afraid of transition? Release the anchor, get out of the cage, whatever analogy that you need to use, write it down so you can remember it. Use that, and make it your mantra. My mantra personally and professionally, is to love, laugh, forgive and dream big. I am stepping into a vulnerable state too, but it doesn’t have to be scary, this is a really exciting time. Don’t think you have to know everything, you don’t have to have every step figured out. Be okay with that feeling of vulnerability. That vulnerability is the precipice to the greatness you are about to experience.
I can’t wait to see how you are going to become an even better version of your self. Whenever I pray or meditate I always say “and, or for my higher good.” Where we come from, our environment, our culture, or our past, can sometimes put a label on things, but if you say ‘and or for my higher good you give the universe room to bless you. You deserve it, go out there and live your best life.
Celebrate your wins.
Tell me about it.
The ‘Six Week Change Your Life’ webinar was created so there was some sense of accountability. There is actually somebody on the other end answering those questions, commenting on your growth and supporting you every step of the way.
And that somebody is me, I want you to succeed.
I want you to achieve your goals.
I want you to hear your future self speaking to you right now, encouraging you to take that leap of faith and jump into your new life.
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek
